Parker VS271NTA-10-8 Compression Male Run Tee 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER VS271NTA-10-8 is a brass compression tube male run tee designed for use in fluid and pneumatic line assemblies requiring a reliable branch connection with a male NPT outlet. The fitting connects two compression tube ends in-line while providing a 1/2 inch MNPT branch port, allowing a branch line to be added to a straight run without cutting and rejoining tubing. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J1131, and SAE J246 standards. It is sized for tubing with a 0.398 inch inside diameter and uses NPTF thread on the male port.

This fitting is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems where a tee branch is needed along a straight compression tube run. Typical applications include brake line assemblies, fuel system plumbing, and other tubing circuits that must comply with D.O.T. and SAE standards. The male NPT port allows direct connection to a female-threaded port, valve, or fitting body. Both trade professionals and knowledgeable installers working on compliant vehicle or equipment fluid systems will find this fitting appropriate for demanding service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with compression tube fitting assembly and applicable D.O.T. regulations. Depressurize and drain the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation including square-cut, burr-free tubing ends and correct ferrule seating. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
